  • Statement on the Proposed Citizenship Amendment Bill
    Statement on the Proposed Citizenship Amendment Bill We are a group of Indian scientists and scholars. We are issuing this statement in our personal capacity as concerned citizens to express our dismay at the reported plans to table the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 in the parliament. We do not have access to the exact text of the current version of the Bill. Our statement is based on media reports and the text of the previous version of the Bill that was passed by the Lok Sabha in January 2019. Nevertheless, we feel compelled to issue this statement already at this point of time in view of the reports that the Bill may be tabled in parliament early next week and may be taken up for voting in both houses soon after. We understand that the Bill seeks to grant citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The stated intent of the Bill is to provide refuge to persecuted minorities from neighbouring countries. While we support this laudable objective, we find it deeply troubling that the Bill uses religion as a legal criterion for determining Indian citizenship. The idea of India that emerged from the independence movement, and as enshrined in our constitution, is that of a country that aspires to treat people of all faiths equally. The use of religion as a criterion for citizenship in the proposed bill would mark a radical break with this history and would be inconsistent with the basic structure of the constitution. We fear, in particular, that the careful exclusion of Muslims from the ambit of the Bill will greatly strain the pluralistic fabric of the country.

Since its inception, the Council has been endeavouring incessantly in accomplishing its mandate with profound sagacity of commitment for a spirit of coordination and consensus among various stakeholders in the field of higher education. Working in tandem with the State government for an inclusive and qualitative growth in higher education, the Council has been performing as catalyst to extend all possible support in addressing three overarching challenges: excellence, equity and expansion. The activities performed in the areas of planning and coordination, academic and advisory functions are listed in this report. The Council is also instrumental in the formation of new academic institutions, expanding and upgrading the existing ones, recommending institutions that are self-reliant in terms of quality education, professionally managed, and characterized by greater inclination towards research and provide students with edification that is relevant to them as well the nation as a whole. In an increasingly globalized society, the needs and expectations of society have been changing very fast with rising demand for quality education and greater sustainability at the desired level. Where quality of higher education rests on the quality of all its facets, be it faculty, staff, students, or infrastructure, the sustainability challenges to rethink the missions and reorganize courses, research programs, and knowledge base.
